Fingers crossed the race starts on time, or close to it.

I’m not near a tv. Are we still a ways out before starting this one?
FS1 came on at 1;30, said green within the hour, then went to a Harvick talk show rerun.
Hopefully the late Truck start will push the O race to start after the basketball games on CW inevitably run long.

According to spire social media, trucks are being pushed out to the grid. (as of 5 minutes ago)
Engines started.
Lots of company at the rear.

Why is there a time limit? Does Hampton have a curfew? I know we have another race, but Atlanta has lights.

What could The CW possibly have going on tonight that they can't push the O'Reilly race back?
Got to get on air for O'Reilly.
Well, the local affiliate here has a 2-hour (!) retrospective on rassler Steve Austin and a pair of Friends reruns.

4:30 local time? So that’s gonna mean that they will gave like 1 1/2 hours to finish a plate race? Yeah, we definitely aren’t seeing an entire race.

One of the best changes FOX has made, aside from finally having a streaming service: Replacing that god awful Fox Sports Live theme with the NASCAR on FOX theme on FS1.

No idea who Cole Butcher is, but I’ve decided he is my driver to root for this year.

This is going to be a wreck fest. Either the field needs to slow down, or they're gonna wreck when the tires wear.

Adam Andretti has got to be the most random truck rookie in some time.
We will if this single file get lined up

Honestly this might be the smartest racing I have seen in the Truck Series in a long time.
For sure, I know he races Trans Am and stuff but they approved him to run Atlanta is surprising.
Wave buh-bye to him

No way that was the only wreck Andretti is gonna have. He’s still out of control.

Interesting little back and forth right there.

Atlanta's getting better now that it's aging and the field gets a little more spread out. These big runs are so much fun.
Fun little stage.
Brentford
Team Owner
Yeah, I know. I was talking about when the leaders were lapping drivers, one of them was Andretti and he got loose.

No requirement to runn all the races to win the championship anymore.
I'm curious how many truck races he'll run.

It's wild having EIGHT caution laps at a stage break in a time limited race.
'Wild' is not the adjective I used.

hocevar is just a racing menace. What a driver
Brentford

He receives a lot of bonehead awards, but he’s certainly fun to watch. He definitely isn’t just gonna ride around and log laps like a lot of drivers choose to do.
How did they not get Rhodes full of gas?
Good for Friesen! Glad to see him come back.

Rhodes out of gas??
That's what I heard them say.

This race is awesome. If only we could have plate racing like this at all times. Somehow Michigan and Atlanta have become our best tracks
